Cle Elum-Roslyn School District Budget Update

Cle Elum-Roslyn School District Budget Update Dear Cle Elum-Roslyn School Community, We want to address the significant budget challenges facing our district—issues that school districts across Washington state are also experiencing. According to a recent Seattle Times article regarding Washington school budget challenges and analysis, 191 out of 295 school district budgets are operating in deficit. Transparency is our priority, and we want to share the factors contributing to this situation and the steps we are taking to ensure student success. To address our declining general reserve (our district’s savings account), we are making reductions in spending, contract services, and "right-sizing" our staffing ratios. Recently, our board passed a resolution to adjust our budget for the remainder of the year to ensure a balanced budget.   Statewide Challenges Impacting School Budgets Public schools in Washington have faced financial pressures for the past five years. Several key factors have contributed to the current budget shortfalls, including: Expiration of Federal Pandemic Relief Funds – One-time COVID relief funding has ended, leaving budget gaps. Competitive Wages – Over the past eight years, our district has increased wages to be competitive in the region. Rising Costs & Inflation – The increasing costs of supplies, utilities, contracted services (vision, speech, mental health, OT/PT etc.), and employee benefits exceed state funding adjustments. State Levy Limits – Restrictions on local levies prevent us from supplementing state funding at the same levels as some comparable districts. Increased Special Education Costs – Mandated, yet often unfunded, special education services continue to strain the general budget. State Investments in Schools – Since the McCleary Decision (a 2012 lawsuit in which the state was found to be underfunding public education), state investment in public schools has actually declined. While McCleary funding was implemented in 2018, it was a one-time adjustment, and today, education funding accounts for less than 50% of the state budget and continues to decline annually. Limited Legislative Support – The state's current $15 billion budget shortfall has made significant increases in K-12 education funding unlikely this legislative session. These combined factors have created a "funding cliff" that requires difficult decisions. Our general fund balance is currently at 4.0%, and without action, it will continue to decline, impacting our ability to cover essential employee and emergency costs. It is important to note that some district funds—such as those for buses or facility improvements—are designated for specific purposes and cannot be used to offset operational shortfalls. The majority of our budget, including salaries and benefits, comes from the general fund.   Our Commitment to Students Despite these financial challenges, we remain committed to providing a high-quality education. We are confident in our ability to stabilize our general fund while upholding our core values. Our guiding principles for budget reductions include: Prioritizing central office and leadership reductions first before impacting classrooms. See new Organizational Chart of duties.  Maintaining reasonable student-teacher ratios to support quality instruction. Balancing the budget across all categories to prevent overspending in any single area. Improving staffing efficiencies by aligning resources with enrollment needs and utilizing attrition (resignations and retirements) where possible. Moving to more efficient staffing between our 7-12 schools and programs. Protecting programs that support student success, particularly those that benefit our most vulnerable students. Focusing on student retention and attraction strategies, including expanding Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs, dual credit options, virtual learning opportunities, and services for homeschool families. Strengthening partnerships with local businesses and organizations to support student learning through internships, apprenticeships, and financial support. Seeking grants aligned with district goals, especially in technology, special education, and career readiness, to offset expenditures.   Planned Budget Adjustments To build financial stability, we must reduce approximately $500,000 from our $18 million budget. Our goal is to achieve a minimum general fund reserve of 8%, with an ideal target of 12%. Planned reductions include: Reducing central office leadership positions Reducing director positions in technology and maintenance operations/custodial services. Reducing two central office administrative assistant positions. Reducing one district administrator position. Limiting travel and out-of-district conferences where possible. Cutting materials and operational costs where possible. Postponing curriculum adoption for the 2024-25 school year. Freezing discretionary spending districtwide. Optimizing staffing efficiencies through retirements, resignations, reassignments, improved sharing of staff 7-12, and student schedule adjustments. Scaling back non-essential paraprofessional roles not fully funded by the state. Exploring revenue-generating opportunities through partnerships, co-ops, and grants.   Understanding School District Funding To clarify how school district finances work, here’s a breakdown of the different types of funds we receive and how they impact budget decisions: General Fund (Basic Education) – The primary operating fund covering staff salaries, benefits, instructional materials, and daily operations. Our declining reserve is directly tied to this fund. Capital Projects Fund – Used exclusively for school construction, major renovations, and facility improvements (cannot be used for staffing or instructional costs). Debt Service Fund – Used to pay off bonds for school construction and major projects (not for salaries or operational costs). Transportation Vehicle Fund – Designated for purchasing and maintaining buses (not for employee salaries). Associated Student Body (ASB) Fund – Managed by students for extracurricular activities and athletics. Grants & Special Program Funds – Restricted to specific programs such as Title I, Special Education, or Career and Technical Education (CTE). Why This Matters for Our Budget Challenges We understand that staff and community members may wonder why they see new buses, computers, or facility improvements while we discuss budget reductions. The key reason is funding restrictions—many of the dollars we receive cannot be used for basic education expenses like teacher salaries, benefits, or general operational costs. Since the majority of our budget comes from the general fund, reductions must be made in that category, as other funding sources cannot legally cover these gaps. Moving Forward We understand that these budget adjustments may raise concerns, and we are committed to maintaining open communication throughout this process. Our priority is to ensure financial stability while continuing to provide a strong educational experience for all students. We recognize that this is an anxious time for our staff, and we are working diligently to minimize impacts where possible. We appreciate your support, engagement, and partnership as we navigate these financial challenges together. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out at belcherj@cersd.org. Thank you for your ongoing commitment to our schools and students. All my best, John Belcher Superintendent Cle Elum-Roslyn School District

Allie Madsen, our Behavior Specialist, and Carrieanne Selzler, Executive Director of Student Services, were invited to present at ESD 105 to a cohort of regional Special Education Directors. Their presentation showcased the development of our Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) for Social Emotional Learning (SEL), serving students from Transitional Kindergarten through 8th grade. This opportunity was especially meaningful following a visit in January by the Regional Special Education Director from ESD 105, who came to observe our SEL programming firsthand and review early outcome data. The positive impact of our work left a lasting impression, leading to this invitation to share our model with other district leaders. We are also proud to be one of only a few districts in Washington state choosing to allocate 15% of our federal special education grant funds toward early intervention services. This intentional investment reflects our commitment to keeping students in general education settings and reducing unnecessary referrals to special education—a proactive approach now gaining attention statewide.   WSMS Prevention Club The Middle School Prevention Club recently put on a lunch activity called—Drug & Alcohol Myths and Facts! We love seeing students getting involved and showing their commitment to making positive choices. Keep up the great work Wildcats! Click here to see more pictures.

Way to go Warriors! ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Superintendent Message Navigating Federal Executive Orders & Maintaining Our Commitment to WA State Laws ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Dear Cle Elum-Roslyn School Community; ​ As we navigate the complexities of public education in Washington state, we recognize the challenges posed by recent federal executive orders that do not align with our state laws, constitution, and local school board policies. These directives also stand in direct contradiction to established federal non-discrimination laws and policies, making navigating these orders more than challenging. State Superintendent Chris Reykdal has made it clear that a recent federal "Dear Colleague Letter" does not carry the force of law, stating: "I’ve advised Washington’s school districts that they should not make changes to their existing policies, practices, and programming in accordance with this letter." At this time, there are legal injunctions in place, and a 90-day implementation window has been established for the federal executive order. As we await further guidance from the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) and the state, we will continue to operate under our district’s policies and state guidelines, ensuring that our schools remain in full compliance with Washington law. We appreciate your patience as we try to navigate these orders and legal challenges ahead. We will provide updates as we receive further direction from state leadership. If you have any questions for me please reach out.  All my best and be well, John Belcher "JB" Superintendent ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Announcements ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Early Learning Roundup ​ Mark Your Calendars! We’re excited to host our annual Early Learning Round Up!

We look forward to seeing you at the Early Learning Round Up! ​ ​ ​ ​ ​   ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ SmartTag Facts & Prize Opportunity ​ Smart Tags are to be kept year after year. Please do not discard them at the end of the year. Cost: the cost for a new Smart Tag is about $5, at current prices. Damaged Tags: be sure your child is not damaging their Tag on purpose. Prize Opportunity! Student will get a prize at the end of the year for still having their original card. Activity Trips: we will be using Smart Tag on all activity trips when we get that module. If your student does not ride the bus to and from school, yet is in athletics or takes a field trip, they will need their card. Identification Help: Smart Tag helps substitutes identify students to make sure they know who is on the bus. Correct Bus: Smart Tag has helped us improve getting students to the correct bus, and in turn help buses leave on time in the afternoon. Parent App: we updated from the Parent Portal to the Parent app! If you are not seeing your alerts this may be the reason, check it out!

Join us in thanking our incredible school counselors for all that they do for our students and schools! Leave a message of appreciation by clicking this link. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​   ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ CERHS Prevention Club Advocates for House Bill 1203 ​ On Friday, January 31st, the CERSD High School Prevention Club actively participated in the legislative process by providing testimony in support of House Bill 1203, which seeks to ban the sale of flavored tobacco and nicotine products in Washington State. The club collectively compiled personal stories, concerns, and data to craft a compelling speech advocating for the bill. Given the one-minute time limit for testimony, club member Krystal Forslin was selected as the spokesperson and delivered the testimony via Zoom. In a show of solidarity, the rest of the Prevention Club stood behind her as she addressed the legislature. Looking ahead, the CERSD Prevention Club will next testify in support of Senate Bill 5183, which also focuses on banning flavored tobacco and nicotine products. The Prevention Club is made up of dedicated students committed to advocating for public health: James Humes, Krystal Forslin, Charlotte Burke, Evelyn Hein, Brooklyn Riste, Ethan Bainter, Triton Belieu, Kadince Matteson, and Samantha Newton. They are guided by passionate advisors who support their efforts: Rachel Henderson (School Nurse), Jessica Cranefield (Community Prevention), and Amber Church (SAP). Beyond advocating for public health, these students are gaining valuable experience in civic engagement. They are learning firsthand how the legislative process works, how bills are passed or denied, and how to participate in government through testimony and debate. CERSD fully supports the Prevention Club’s efforts and remains committed to the health and well-being of its students—both now and for future generations. By endorsing initiatives like House Bill 1203, the district underscores its dedication to creating a healthier environment for students—free from the harmful influence of flavored tobacco and nicotine products. Brynn Brady, representing the American Heart Association and local public health, emphasized the significance of student advocacy in this effort, stating: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ "Led by Tobacco-Free Kids, we are fortunate to have such engaged students from Cle Elum-Roslyn High School who are providing their real-life pressures and experiences with the youth vaping and nicotine use epidemic. Banning flavors in these products will make a difference, deterring interest in fun flavors, gaming, and other techniques the tobacco industry uses to attract another generation of nicotine addiction." Research shows that flavored tobacco products are particularly appealing to youth, increasing the risk of nicotine addiction and long-term health complications. CERSD recognizes the importance of preventative action and is proud to support student-led advocacy that prioritizes public health. Through education, prevention programs, and policy advocacy, CERSD is not only working to protect students today but is also investing in a healthier future for generations to come. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Announcements ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ High School Principal Finalists Meet & Greet ​ You're Invited!
